CBO Eyes Cheaper Pandemic Vaccine Strategy
September 22, 2008
by John Reichard, CQ HealthBeat Editor
CQ HealthBeat
Washington, D.C. (September 22, 2008) - Evidence that vaccine supplies to treat pandemic flu could be stretched using certain additives might allow federal officials to spend less money to build vaccine manufacturing capacity and more to spur development of highly effective, next-generation vaccines, says a new report by the Congressional Budget Office.
Circumstances have changed in at least one important way since the Department of Health and Human Services released a plan in 2005 to prepare for a global outbreak of the flu that could take millions of lives, says the report.
Jeffrey Levi, executive director of Trust for America's Health, noted that the report pegs the yearly cost of maintaining and replenishing a pandemic flu vaccine stockpile at between $350 million and $1.1 billion because of the expiring shelf life of vaccines. HHS hasn't figured that into its budget calculations but should do so, he said.

A relative century
Posted Jan 11, 2005 in Science.
1905 was a good year for Albert Einstein. So good, in fact, that it is commonly referred to as his annus mirabilis. He wrote and submitted four papers to the physics journal Annalen der Physik, at least three of were worthy of the Nobel Prize for Physics.
It was March, and he submitted a paper for publication that argued that light waves behaved as if they were particles. He took the work on the quantum theory of energy that had first been done by Max Planck, and extended it to describe the photoelectric effect mathematically. This paper won him the Nobel Prize.
Just two months later, he completed an extensive paper on Brownian motion, in which he showed that atoms definitely exist. Moreover, he showed that heat comes from molecular motion.
During this time, Einstein conceived the idea of special relativity. He submitted a paper, On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies, in late June, but it was met with some ridicule due to certain contradictions and paradoxes in his work.
In August, Einstein submitted his thesis about determining the size of molecules. After a few revisions, the work was accepted and Einstein had his doctorate.
Einstein revisited special relativity the following month. He refined and extended his work by linking matter to energy. He demonstrated that the mass of a body is equal to its energy at rest divided by the speed of light squared. This could be more easily expressed as:
E = m c²
This relationship wasn't considered to be much more than a curiosity, and the full benefit of this work wasn't realized for another 30 years. The equation is particularly useful when working out how much energy is released during nuclear fission, where even small masses yield fantastic energies.
One hundred years later, we realize just what an important contribution Einstein made to our lives. He was certainly a remarkable man.

Flanagan meets British counterparts in London amid Brexit uncertainty
Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan stressed the importance of continued participation in European law enforcement measures and a careful Brexit transition at a meeting with UK cabinet ministers.
Mr Flanagan held a meeting with Home Secretary Amber Rudd, Justice Secretary David Lidington and Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire in London yesterday.
They discussed the ongoing close co-operation between Ireland and the UK on criminal and civil justice, immigration and security issues, as well as the evolving threats from organised crime and terrorism.
Mr Flanagan said he and his British counterparts have a "strong shared determination to work to ensure that the UK's planned departure from the European Union will not weaken our efforts to combat shared security threats and will provide no benefit to criminals".
He added: "Ireland and the UK enjoy excellent bilateral cooperation, but also benefit greatly from the European Arrest Warrant and other EU measures that support the fight against crime and terrorism.
"We discussed and agreed the need for that cooperation to continue, and I stressed the importance of transitional or interim arrangements, so as to allow sufficient time to tease out the complex issues which will require examination in reaching a future partnership agreement.
"We all also reaffirmed our commitment to maintaining the Common Travel Area. We discussed its great importance to the people of Ireland and the UK and I emphasised in particular how vital it is in the context of Northern Ireland. I also welcomed the progress which is being made on the Common Travel Area in the course of the Article 50 negotiations."

We cover quite a bit of ground in this section. The topics discussed span several layers of the OSI model from layer 3 up to layer 5. And as with many of the sections in this module, we look at the various security threats associated with the devices, protocols, and layers at which they reside.
We begin by discussing NAT (Network Address Translation) and its associated protocol, PAT (Port Address Translation). These protocols serve to map private internal IP addresses to public IP addresses, .i.e the internet. This discussion then leads into the security issues associated with the upper OSI layers.
Firewalls and how they implement security rules are covered next. At their core, firewalls allow or block traffic using rule-based access control. These rules are implemented either in hardware and software and we'll examine the different types of firewalls in a moment. The key function of firewalls is to separate traffic into trusted (internal network) and untrusted (external network, e.g. the internet) zones.
The discussion of the various types of firewalls begins with examining the OSI layers where they operate. Layer 3 firewalls utilize packet filtering, which are effectively routers with ACLs (Access Control Lists). ACLs contain the rules which govern how a firewall directs network traffic. It looks at network and transport layer packets, IP addresses, ports and flags when deciding how and where to direct traffic.
It's noted that layer 3 firewalls are not stateful and utilize an "all of nothing" approach to packet filtering. This approach keeps malformed packets off the network, though while quite important, is not able to block viruses and performs no content inspection.
Layer 5 firewalls are stateful firewalls. They use context-dependent decisions to implement access control. Stateful firewalls keep track of a multitude of conditions such as the state of connections and determining whether a reply is expected. Many threats exploit such vulnerabilities at the transport layer.
Other upper layer firewalls that we examine in this section are proxy firewalls and application proxies. Proxy firewalls act as a layer 5 shim between layers 4 and 7. These type of firewalls mitigate exploits targeting the TCP handshake such as SYN flood attacks. Application proxies are true content inspection firewalls and implement non-repudiation. They actively look out for malware and other malicious content coming across the connection. These types of firewalls possess far greater intelligence than layer 3 firewalls.
We conclude this section with a discussion of security zones such as the DMZ, bastion hosts, and multi-homed firewalls. We then circle back to discussing how NAT/PAT are used by firewalls to hide internal IP addresses from the external network.
Finally, we cite common best practices for firewall configuration such as blocking unnecessary traffic like ICMP, keeping ACLs simple, using implicit deny, the principle of least privilege, and ingress and egress filtering. As promised, this section is info-packed!

and you can tell by the look on her face
she had absolutely no say in the matter.
I'm even more stoked than usual about this festival of gluttony because I've just learned Piggly Wiggly is coming over FOR THE WHOLE WEEKEND AND OMIGOD THIS IS THE REASON CAPS LOCK WAS INVENTED! Her mom brought her down today and we'll be spending the next few days cleaning, cooking, gossiping, watching movies and getting about zero hours of blissful sleep in between eyedropper feedings.
I'll admit I'm a little terrified about how I'm going to handle the Thanksgiving menu, because not only does nobody in my family like turkey but also my daughter is, by her own admission: "special needs." As she noted in an anxious text: "Maybe we should bring our own schnibbles? We're so annoying: No pork, no mushrooms, no onions, no dairy, no gluten." (And in case you're wondering if my daughter is some sort of Birkenstock-clad, lactose-intolerant hairy-armpitted vegan, no. Piss off. The poor kid is just trying to weed out any and every possible cause of whatever the hell it is that's making Piggly Wiggly's intestines do the writhing dance of death at every feeding. She has my utmost sympathy. Even if it does mean our Thanksgiving dinner is going to taste like arse.)
I want to give the dear little family a break and having to cook their own food for Thanksgiving while the rest of us chow down on pie and stuffing and bacon-wrapped scallops .... "Mmm, so good! Too bad you guys can't eat a single scrap of it!" ... seems the height of churlishness. And so I am, even as we speak, Googling the most ridiculous phrases, such as "gluten-free pie crust, how the fuck?" and "dairy-free whipped cream, just shoot me?" and of course, Google is delivering on every count. I'm discovering all sorts of hippie-weirdo recipes that I will never, ever use again, but hey, it's expanding my horizons. I've learned that you can substitute coconut milk for real milk, canola oil for butter, sorghum flour for wheat flour ... and marvelous, I've just realized I'll be making a meal that nobody but Gwyneth Paltrow would enjoy.
Anyway, I have

layers at the site contained a series of hearths, several human graves, flint artifacts, animal bones, a collection of sea shells, lumps of red ochre, and an incised cortical flake. The marine shells were recovered from layers earlier than most of the graves except for one burial. The shells were collected and brought from the Mediterranean Sea shore some 35 km away, and are complete Glycymeris bivalves, naturally perforated. Several valves bear traces of having been strung, and a few had ochre stains on them.

Book review: The Map Maker
The Map Maker (MindShift Publishing) by Rob Streetman is highly thought provoking and a joy to read. The pages hold treasure, especially with the gentle reminders of what brought each of us to our faith in Christ. Additional reminders of having compassion for others, an inner strength that comes only from Jesus, and loving others as Christ loves us are explained in a fresh new way.
This book is excellent at showing us how God views us—with great patience, extravagant love and with such a treasured purpose. If we knew just how much God truly loves us, delighting in him would be our highest privilege and adventure in life.
We each are a Somebody—there is so much more to each of us than we (or others) can possibly realize. Each task God entrusts to us, whether it's lined with blessings or hardships, is a unique transforming adventure to make us more like His Son.
Too many Christians like to faultily believe that our lives should only hold goodness, but The Map Maker reminds us that God uses both good and bad to transform and sharpen our lives for His purposes and glory.
Depending on how submitted we are to the Holy Spirit's work for our transformation, this will hold the key to how well we will fare in our spiritual journeys. As we allow the Holy Spirit to transform us, our confidence in God grows and our fears, worries, and other negative character traits are rooted out of us. We are then more fully able to surrender, submit, and carry out the life assignments God gives to us. Our faith is strengthened and Christ is more clearly seen in us. The Map Maker does an exceptional job of sharing and teaching these rich messages.
This book also address what to do when we are tempted to quit (p. 66) due to challenging or uncomfortable situations. Being a grief and marriage coach, I've seen many Christians fall away from an accurate portrait of God and His goodness during tough life events. Throwing in the towel has become prevalent these days. Explaining the purpose of hardships which will stay with its readers, as well as prevent falling away from God.
The Map Maker reveals pitfalls that can keep us from fully submitting to God and experiencing Him. It also does a fantastic job of explaining some difficult to understand theology, as well as tackle the topic of spiritual warfare. I appreciate how the book takes the time to unfold in sections until you finally see the big picture.
I loved the description the author gave God: the Greatest Adventurer the world has ever known. This is so accurate and the book does a great job of describing how our spiritual life should be viewed...as a grand adventure, custom made for us by the Map Maker.
Written as a parable and divided into two parts (after reading each chapter in part one, be sure to read the follow-up corresponding chapters in part two) this format will greatly enrich your reading and further personalize the adventure you'll be "going" on with Somebody and The Map Maker throughout the book.
I appreciated the author's transparency in sharing a few of his trials in life. This made The Map Maker even more authentic.
The "For Your Journey" sections at the end of the chapters were useful. Not only does this further personalize the reading material, but it opens your heart to truly consider the application and greater picture.
This book is excellent for encouraging leadership in your sphere of influence whether that is in the workplace, church, marriage, parenting, home, family, neighborhood, or anywhere God uses you to invest in others.
There are many Christian books that share how to develop your faith, that are "feel good" in nature, or how to receive God's best; I really liked how this book encouraged accountability – and responsibility – in how we should give back to God. Very refreshing!
This book will encourage, equip, transform and edify all who read it.

hmontini's Review
Wow, you guys are tough. I just made the cake, and it's been a very long time since I made a scratch cake. The batter tasted great and I'm hoping the finished product does. I needed to add milk to the frosting recipe, maybe as much as 2-3 tablespoons to get the right consistency.

I will go out on a limb and say the 1/3 cup baking soda should be 1/3 cup baking cocoa.... why would no one else think this as well?? I've baked enough cakes/brownies in my day to have figured this one out. Will probably use 3 cups self rising flour or basic all purpose and adjust baking soda/salt accordingly. Sounds wonderful though, may have to test run this one tonight! =)

Think there is something terribly wrong with this recipe. 1/3 cup baking soda???? I think that should be cocoa....

Ditto with everyone else. Would no stars mean "Would not make in the first place?" That's all of us so far.

In 2017 "Lotus festival" and a gastronomic festival will be held for the first time in Kalmykia, the head of the region, Alexey Orlov said on Monday in his statement to the deputies of the National Hural (Parliament) of the Republic.
"A festival of crafts in the framework of the national holiday "Dzhangariada" and inter-faith festival of wisdom and philosophy will be held in the Republic". A touristic facility, ecoparking "Shatta" will be created in the territory of the tourist area in 2017", - Alexey Orlov said.
According to him the important factor and an essential resource for the further development of the entire economy of the region can and should be the development of tourism.
In April 2015, "Week of tourism" had place in Kalmykia. It included opening of ethnographic Houghton "Bumbin orn" in the city park "Druzhba", the performance of the consolidated orchestra of 500 musicians of the republic, as well as the "tulip festival".
Kalmykia is a unique Asian republic situated in the European part of Russian Federation. It is the only Buddhist republic in this part of Russia and in the whole Europe as well. It is a point where Asia meets Europe, and the East meets the West.
This is an ancient land that still bears the traces of its past civilizations and preserves the cultural heritage of the Huns, ancient states and peoples, Chenghis Hans's troops and the Golden Horde. The Great Silk Route, one of the main ancient routes connecting peoples of Europe, Siberia, Central Asia and Middle East, passed through the Kalmyk steppes.
One of the main reasons to come to this land is to experience a wonderful feeling of unity with the nature and energy of boundless steppes, the beauty of wild tulips and vast fields.
The Kalmyks brought to the Volga steppes their folklore, one of the richest in the world, sharing common roots with the treasures of folklore and literature of India, Tibet and Mongolia. But the masterpiece of the Kalmyk oral tradition is, of course, a heroic epic "Dzhanghar" glorifying twelve fearless powerful warriors and Dzhanghar, their leader who defend their fairy-like homeland of Bumba and its happy people from their numerous enemies.
The Republic is situated in the northwestern part of the Caspian Lowlands. Kalmykia borders Dagestan in the south, Stavropol region in the southwest, Astrakhan Region in the east, Rostov Region in the west. The territory of Kalmykia is bounded in the southwest by the Caspian Sea, in the south and southeast by rivers Manych and Kyma, and in the northeast by the mighty Volga.
The total area of Kalmykia is 76 thousand square km. equal to the sum of territories of Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. Its population is 320 thousand people. It is concentrated in 3 cities - Elista, Gorodovikovsk and Lagan. The capital of Kalmykia is Elista.
The climate of Kalmykia is dry and continental: summer is hot; winter is frosty and not snowy. Average winter temperature is 8-26 C below zero; average summer temperature is 22-24 C above zero.

Much of the new features of the iPhone 4S are due to iOS 5, a major system update that includes iMessage and the updated notification system. These changes are significant, and not to mention fabulous, an update that gives every Droid a run for its money. However, did we mention you could upgrade your iPhone 4 to the exact same software?
Should you run out and buy an iPhone 4S? If you are in the market for a new smart phone, absolutely. Not only is this smart phone powerful (and quickly diminishing your need for a computer), iPhone 4S is loaded with features, easy to use and takes great pictures and video. It is also available on a wider variety of carriers, which makes it more accessible to more consumers.
Can you use the same iphone 4 chargers, cases, headphone, headsets or any other accessories for iPhone 4s? Yes you can. Almost all the accessories are compatible for the two iPhones
Apple continues to deliver a consistent and cohesive environment. The software upgrade to OS was a stellar improvement and iPhone 4S was given enough improvements to keep it competitive well into 2012 - or that is until iPhone 5 blows it away.

In the Spotlight
Flu Shots For Veterans
Fall means cool air, colorful leaves and cozy sweaters. But, it also means flu season. The flu can spread easily. All it takes to catch it is for someone with the sniffles to cough, laugh or sneeze within three to six feet of you. Some flu cases can become very serious, resulting in hospitalization or even death.
Which means it's a good time to get your flu vaccination.
It's important to remember that anyone can get the flu. But you are more likely to become infected if you:
Have a weakened immune system
Have regular, close contact with young children
Work in a health care setting where you may be exposed to flu germs
Live or work with someone who has the flu
Haven't received an annual flu shot
The flu virus changes over time, so vaccinations are updated to keep up with the changes. Health care providers recommend getting the flu vaccine each fall or winter. Get a flu shot as soon as it is available so you don't spend the winter months in tissues. Vaccination is the surest way to protect against getting the flu.
Veterans who are receiving VA health care can get the flu shot at a nearby VA health care facility. Veterans can also receive their flu shot at Walgreens, and the information will be automatically added to their VA health record. Learn more about VA's partnership with Walgreens. For Veterans who have non-VA health care providers, see where you can get your flu shot.
Go to the VA Public Health's Vaccination page to learn all about the flu vaccination. Also, remember to add your flu vaccination into your Personal Health Record in Track History.
Can't tell if you are always popping cough drops because you have a cold or the flu? While both conditions are usually associated with sore throats, runny noses, fatigue or headaches, the flu often has additional discomforts such as chills, muscle aches or fevers. Follow this self-assessment chart (PDF) to view the differences.

Kamarudeen Ogundele, Ado Ekiti
Pain, anger, sorrow, loss, distraught, fear; all of those typified the emotions portrayed by Terkibi Yakpe's countenance.
He stood stiffly amidst other residents of Orin Ekiti, who had been making futile efforts to console him following the loss of his wife, Mnwaga, 25, and their unborn baby.
Yakpe, 37, and his family were attacked before dawn at a farm settlement, some kilometres from Orin Ekiti, on Thursday, January 18. His pregnant wife was shot dead before him.
It has been over one week since the attack and all the consolations that had come Yakpe's way have done nothing to ease his sorrow at the loss of his mate, wife, mother of his children, the love of his life, or the rage he feels towards her killers.
He stared at the empty space before him.
Mnwaga was eight months pregnant with their baby before assailants suspected to be Fulani herdsmen struck and shot her in the head. "Her death was like snuffing life out of me," Yakpe said glumly.
Yakpe recalled how he and Mnwaga had sat down and made plans after she brought him news that she was pregnant with their fourth child. The couple had even started buying things as they patiently awaited the birth of a new addition to the family.
"I was very happy when she told me that she was pregnant; we sat down, held each other's hands and talked about our me plans for our children. My wife was a gift to me; she stood by me through thick and thin. We had started planning for the baby and buying things in readiness for its birth.
"We were so happy and really looking forward to the birth of a new baby to join the family soon. We had made the necessary preparations, but the killers came from nowhere and took away my joy for no reason.
"They killed my wife without any provocation and turned our joy to sadness. God will surely visit them with calamity wherever they are," he said sadly.
Yakpe's case is like that of many families who have become victims of the fatal attacks of the suspected killer-herdsmen.
During our correspondent's visit to Orin Ekiti, it was observed the residents of the town had yet to overcome the tragedy that recently befell them.
Many of them were gathered in clusters, saying little or nothing, as they appeared to be pondering over their future in the community where they had invested all their savings.
Orin Ekiti is an agrarian community, with its residents predominantly relying on subsistence farming as their means of livelihood. With the recent attack by suspected killer-herdsmen, many residents had become apprehensive about going to their farms. Some had not returned to their farms since then.
The farm settlement, where Mnwaga was killed and some others injured, is considered as part of Orin Ekiti town but about an hour's drive from it.
Yakpe's marriage to Mnwaga was blessed with three children – Queen, 13; Aondouwa, 10; and Ushahuba, seven.
Recalling his last moments with his wife and the dream of seeing their fourth child, Yakpe, said: "I'm afraid to go to bed because I still have nightmares; I've been having nightmares since my wife was killed. Can you believe that a woman that was eight months pregnant could be shot and killed for no reason?
"We had retired to our room that night after a hectic day on the farm. We had hoped for a sound sleep. Earlier, before we slept, we had some discussion; just couple's conversation. We said we would continue our discussion the next morning because we were tired.
"We were sleeping when we heard a loud bang on our door. We quickly rushed to the door and held it from behind to prevent anyone outside from forcing their way in. The assailants, who were speaking Fulani and Hausa, kept hitting the door in order to pull it down, but we were determined to resist them from gaining entrance into our room."
Yakpe said the desperation by the assailants to gain entrance and theirs to prevent that went on for a long time.
He said, "We knew we were in for trouble, but we were determined to do anything possible to prevent them while hoping for some miracle to rescue us. When the assailants knew that they might not succeed, they started shooting at the door.
"One of them climbed the roof of the house and shot at us from there; the bullet hit my wife in the head and she collapsed on my body. I still held on to the door so that they would not be able to come in. They intensified the push and kept shouting at the same time. When I saw that they wanted to overpower me, I ran to the back door in order to escape. But one of them sensed that and ran to the back to waylay me, but he was only holding a cutlass. "He called out to the other man with a gun but at that point, I ran to the front door again and from there, I was able to escape into the bush.
"They finally gained entrance into the house and held down one of my children and beat him up. They asked him to kneel down before ransacking the house to steal our valuables."
Yakpe said he was so terrified that he could not have a good look at the faces of the assailants, adding that he was sure that they were Fulani because they spoke the language and also mixed it with Hausa.
Yakpe said no one knew the reason behind the attack yet. However, he appealed to the government to unravel the mystery surrounding the attack and punish those behind it.
"There was no premonition of her death. So my wife is gone? It is still like a dream," he said to no one in particular.
The distraught man said his family was already thrown into disarray as a result of the incident and were no longer together.
"Two of my children are with my mother-in-law, while one is with our pastor," he said.
Yakpe's kinsman, Donald Iorkyaa, who was with him during the interview, said when he first heard the noise, he thought some people were fighting in the area.
"I thought it was a fight between a man and woman. As I was approaching, I heard gun shots, so I ran back to carry my cutlass. I met him on the way to his place and he told me that his wife had been killed.
"They also beat up his neighbour, an elderly man, but the man was able to escape with his children. That was how we all fled the farm settlement before dawn. In the morning, we went to meet the chief vigilante, who took us to the palace."
Our correspondent who sought to visit the farm settlement in company of few volunteers had to make a detour after driving for 20 minutes on the rough and bumpy road.
Throughout the aborted journey, there was no one sighted going to or returning from the farm settlement – the road was totally deserted.
"We already advised you not to go there. When we go like that, we don't return to the town until after a period. We have houses on the farm where we stay because the farm is far and the access road is worse than you can imagine," the head of the Tiv community in the town, Mr. James Dabo, told our correspondent.
Also narrating his ordeal to our correspondent, another victim of the attack, Moses James, said the assailants came with a mission to kill.
He showed our correspondent a machete wound inflicted on his shoulder by the assailants.
James said, "They attacked my house also with guns and cutlass. I was able to get hold of the gun and started dragging it with the attacker. When the second man saw that I wanted to overpower the first, he attacked me with a machete. See the wound on my shoulder.
"I saw the faces of those that attacked me and I already reported this to the governor at a peace meeting he held with us. One of them is the son of a Fulani herdsman."
Corroborating this, Iorkyaa said, "We went to the divisional police officer to report the case. The next day, the divisional police officer took us to the state Criminal Investigation Department, where they told us it was a case of armed robbery. They told us to form a joint security patrol with Yoruba and Fulani."
Governor Ayodele Fayose had intervened by calling for a peace meeting.
At the meeting were Fulani herdsmen, under the aegis of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria; farmers; local hunters; security agencies and representatives of the Tiv community in Ado-Ekiti.
At the meeting, the governor told Sarikin Fulani in the state, Muhammed Abashe, that he would be held responsible for any further attack by suspected Fulani herdsmen in the state.
Fayose, who expressed anger at the incident, said Abashe had failed in providing leadership by not stopping his kinsmen from destroying farms and attacking residents under slightest provocation.
He said, "If you (Fulani herders) still want to stay among us, you must accept the responsibility to ensure that none of our people's farms is destroyed by herdsmen any longer. None of our people must be killed by your men; either they are strangers or those herdsmen living among us.
"If any killing or destruction of farms of our people occurs again in that area, I will ensure that I use the law to fight you their leader on it. This is the last warning I am giving you."

Pixel Enemy writes: Despite certain differences, these two games will definitely be fighting for sales this fall, and while we all know which will sell more, which one will actually be better is quite debatable.
Although neither game has been released yet, no one can argue that these two games will be compared until your blue in the face. Well you can save your breath, because Gmoney breaks down each of the games into 4 categories: Campaign, Graphics, Multiplayer, and Content.
I wouldn't give the MP honor to Black Ops in this comparison because it is limited to 18 players, even on the PC (why have dedicated servers and such a low player limit?). Sorry, but that is just too low for me. I'm doing 32 players on Bad Company 2 and won't be able to knock that in half and have as good a time. Plus, I don't like the killstreaks and all the camping in COD games. I'm leaning more towards MOH since I like DICE and the BF series more than COD. I also want to show my support for DICE and EA against all the BS they're getting for having the Taliban in MP. I'll probably end up getting both, but may wait till early next year for Black Ops and hopefully get it on sale.
black ops looks like mw2 just the guns look different and a few new features but ppl will disagree.. i think MOH will offer great content
Multiplayer on black op's looks really downsampled. compard to the SP. however on MOH the engine seems roughly the same on both SP/MP.
ive been here too many times. with cod. FOR ME MOH . !!
plus if they use the same backbone as badcompany 2 with servers .it wont be soo laggy.and less glitchers.
Medal of Honor for me.
Besides Black Ops apparently having more content than Medal of Honor, I will have the MOH: Frontline HD remake on the disc too, so that's lots more content for me.
I would have gotten Black Ops for one reason only... Nazi Zombies... but last I heard it was the same NZ maps from World at War, so my enthusiasm took a big dive. Now, Bobby Kotick has reminded me why I should boycott all Activision games anyway, just like I boycotted MW2. The more realistic style of Medal of Honor gets my vote. F*** you, Kotick.

AAC, New York Section. The new millennium began inauspiciously. Unseasonably warm weather in early January threatened to make our 15th Annual Winter Outing a total washout. Miraculously, a quick succession of winter storms changed all that, and by the end of January, mid-winter conditions returned, along with most of the classic ice routes in Keene Valley. As a result, 34 Section members and guests enjoyed perhaps the best weekend of the winter. After a day of cramponing and skiing came cocktails and a delicious dinner followed by a Don Mellor slide show, "American Rock." Earlier in the day, Don's seminar on "Steep Ice" attracted a large group of ice-climbing devotees. All things considered, this was one of our best outings ever.
In February, Ed Viesturs came to town and spoke before a packed house on his 8000-meter odyssey. The Section collaborated with Outside Magazine on the event, which benefited the AAC national organization. Another significant social event followed in March, when the Section hosted legendary Himalayan climber, author, and filmmaker Kurt Diemberger in a standing-room only lecture, cocktail party, and book signing at the Explorers Club. Kurt, as usual, confirmed his reputation as one of the most dramatic and engaging speakers on the circuit.
May featured Alpinfilm, the New York International Mountain Film Festival, now in its 11th year. Cosponsored by the Section, the event, a juried competition of international renown, features a variety of films vying for cash prizes and recognition in the world's media capital. Among the prize-winning films were Sons of the Mountaineers, a poignant film about John Harlin III and Peter Hillary, reflecting on their famous fathers' legacies. Premiering was John Wilcox's Shishapangma: A Celebration of Life, the story of the tragic expedition that took the lives of Alex Lowe and Dave Bridges, and Vision Man, a haunting film on an elderly Inuit hunter's memories of a disappearing way of life in northern Greenland. The screenings were preceded by a cocktail reception and dinner at a local restaurant. In June, the Section returned to the Adirondacks for a weekend of rock climbing, hiking, and partying at the Ausable Club. This has been a two-decade old tradition which began under the auspices of the late John Case, former President of the Club and a local climbing legend.
Finally, in October, the Section held its 21st Annual Black Tie Dinner, with a full house of 140 members and guests in attendance. The special guest speaker was long-time favorite Chris Bonington talking on his recent exploratory expeditions to Sepu Kangri, an unclimbed 7000-meter peak in central Tibet. Also presenting was Olaf Sööt on Climbin' and Crusin' with Zeus and Poseidon, a slide show on a recent trip to Olympus, the Meteora, and the Greek Islands. Once again, our official Section bagpiper, Dave Gelman, led the procession into the Dining Room. Dave often brings his pipes along on climbs: once they got stuck in a crack, necessitating a rescue! The Dinner was run as a benefit for the Club Library, specifically to help augment the guidebook collection.
The year's events concluded with Cuba Libre, a slide show by Armando Menocal about rock climbing in Cuba.
The year was not without its tragedies. In February, the shocking news reached us that Guy Waterman, a former New York climbing leader and legend, had taken his life on Mount Lafayette in New Hampshire. Our sympathies go to his widow Laura and his son.
Finally, our Section Web site blossomed as never before, thanks to the creative hand and hard work of Vic Benes, our webmaster. Keep posted on goings-on in the Big Apple by loggin' on: http://nys.alpineclub.org.

Ancient people cleaned their clothes by pounding them on rocks or rubbing them with abrasive sands; and washing the dirt away in local streams. This sounds cold, wet and back is hurting just watching the manual labor.
As crappy as this sounds, there are plenty of people still doing laundry this way! Look, in that bunch of women is a MAN and I think I see a boy helping too! You could simulate soap by using the roots of the Soapwort plant usually found growing around streams and rivers.
The earliest washing "machine" was the scrub board invented in 1797. Don't you LOVE the word machine here? I mean.... the PEOPLE were basically the machine, the board was the tool! Hand operated washing machines....
Water could be drawn, brought in and put in a basin or kettle, warmed (??), and then wishy-washy, wishy-washy and all the clothes were magically cleaned. Ummm, NO! My knuckles hurt just looking at this picture! By this time, lye soap was being made with animal fats and ashes from the fires. It still looks like quite a bunch of work though.
In 1858, Hamilton Smith patented the rotary washing machine.
In 1874, William Blackstone of Indiana built a birthday present for his wife. It was a machine which removed and washed away dirt from clothes. The first washing machines designed for convenient use in the home. Ok, bless him and curse him! A Birthday present??? Well, if it was the machine or the "hand machine" above.... yup, a washer says love to me.
I'm guessing these still required manually bringing water to the machine and before they were hooked up to small engines, someone must have had to manually make the clothes and water go around. Then there was wringing every last object in the machine out and hanging it on the clothesline. Work.... lots and lots of work. Why is she smiling?? And when was the last time you posed with YOUR washing machine...
The Thor was the first electric-powered washing machine. Introduced in 1908 by the Hurley Machine Company of Chicago, Illinois, the Thor washing machine was invented Alva J. Fisher. The Thor was a drum type washing machine with a galvanized tub and an electric motor. A patent was issued on August 9th 1910. Electric motor... now we're getting there. Did you notice the green? Wonder if they made them to match your house, porch or wherever they were located? And what if you didn't have electricity? Maybe you had one of those tractor motors or drive belts to help you out. Sheesh!
Once the washer was electrified, it must have felt like a HUGE load off a woman's weekly shoulders.
I don't know about you, but I started my married life running to the corner laundromat that was usually further than a corner away. Taking a few days worth of clothes, a bunch of quarters, something to read, I would settle in for a L O N G afternoon of waiting while my clothes washed and wondering all the time what was washed last in that machine and were my clothes going to be sanitary when I got them out. And remember that even with the dryer cranked to high heat, it still took at least $2 to dry a load.
After having my second child (and cloth diapers!) we decided we better find a washer/dryer combo of our own. It was TOO difficult for us to take 2 small kids, a weeks worth of clothes for 4 and a diaper pail full of dirty diapers to the laundromat.
So we found something similar to these:
I was one of the luckiest women on earth!! No more trips out, I could put laundry in at any time and take it out at any time. Now all I had to do was sort, stuff and add a bit of soap. It was definitely a turning point in my washing career!
I've had something like this most of my married life. When we had a houseful of teenagers, we opted for the heavy duty models of washers, ones that could hold LOTS of laundry freeing up even more of my time. When the washer or dryer would go on the fritz and I'd have to drive to the laundromat for a time, it was always first priority to get them fixed or replaced.
Lately, I've been looking at what is new and wow, I want to buy something BAD. There is nothing wrong with my current washer and dryer but I SO want ones like this:
or this.... look at all the extra room and compartments to store the clutter in! Or this...RED, can you believe it? This is one of the warmest most inviting laundry rooms around! A laundry room with a VIEW!
Don't get me wrong... I am a THANKFUL woman. To have a washing machine after doing my historical research definitely makes me one happy, modern woman. And anyway, if I got a new pair of those lovely machines.......
I'd only have to totally redo my laundry room so my brand new machines would look good in it. A room totally devoted to washing clothes..... I think I'll pass.
Thanks to About.com/Inventors for providing the History of the washing machine.

Triplets Hannah, Natalie and Tyler Feaster of Franklin County recently signed a National Letter of Intent to continue their soccer careers as student-athletes as Motlow State Community College.
The Feasters have all been four-year starters with the Rebelettes during their high school careers. Tyler earned first team All-District 8-AAA her senior season and Natalie earned second team honors following her junior season. All three have played select soccer with Camp Forest FC.
"We are very excited to have the Feasters join the Motlow State family," said Andy Lyon, head coach of the Motlow soccer program. "Not only is it a unique story to have triplets on a college soccer team, but they are all excellent players who will help us establish ourselves as a unit. They all have different strengths and talents.
"Hannah brings defensive experience and a calming influence to the defense," continued Lyon. "Natalie adds energy, fearlessness and the ability to play numerous positions. Tyler has great attacking instincts and will add excitement to the front line.
"The Feasters are excellent students as well as soccer players and they undoubtedly had multiple offers to continue as student-athletes at other places," Lyon added. "We are delighted they chose Motlow State."
Motlow will feature a women's soccer team for the first time in school history this fall. The program will join the other four sports at Motlow and participate in the National Junior College Athletic Association on the Division I level.
The Feaster triplets from Franklin County High School recently each signed a National Letter of Intent to continue their soccer careers as student-athletes at Motlow State Community College. Joining them for the signing ceremony, standing from left, are Andy Lyon, Motlow State head soccer coach; Dawn Feaster, mother; John Feaster, father; and Kent Bean, Franklin County High School head soccer coach.

Questions about getting started with tablets
I've been learning how to draw for the last month or so, and now I've decided to get a tablet, since what I really want is to get into digital drawing. That being said, while I'm very new to all this, I was getting better and my lines on paper are feeling much more convincing. So far I've taken the approach of not really paying attention to how good the line is, but paying attention to how good the shapes are, and my lines have improved over time on their own... but now I got a tablet.
It's really hard to draw the lines I want to with the tablet, especially curves. My tablet is a lot smaller than my screen (about 1/4 of it, perhaps even a bit less since my screen is really big), so I tried to map it to a small area to see if that would help, and it did a little, but it still felt slippery and like I didn't have much control over the pen. I cannot for the life of me draw a horizontal line with the tablet, no matter how small the line or how small the screen. It's really weird, because I don't even know why. The tablet's texture is pretty similar to paper, and while it does slide a bit more than graphite on paper, the difference doesn't seem that great, and yet, while I can quickly draw a straightish line from point A to B on paper, with the tablet, no matter how fast I move the pen, my line always comes out really bad. Even when I try to trace over the line I want to make with the pen up before drawing it, as soon as the pen touches the tablet it's like watching a train wreck.
I've heard many people say this is normal when you're starting out with a tablet, so I'm not that worried, but I guess I'm a bit afraid of picking up bad habits, so that's why I'm making this thread. I want to start with the right foot.
So I have a few questions:
Should I get used to using the entire screen even with a small tablet, or should I really be mapping just a small part of the screen to the tablet? On one hand I feel that mapping the tablet to a small area helps me now, but I wonder if I will benefit from practicing with a bigger area, since then I'll be able to do big lines with small movements (I don't even know if this is a good thing or not), even if it takes me longer to adjust.
I've only recently been focused on using my arm to draw instead of my wrist and fingers, but I was wondering if it's better to use the wrist since my tablet is so small (I can just zoom out if I want a bigger line), or if I should really practice with my arm. One more thing I don't quite get when people say "draw with your arm": do they mean to say "draw long lines with the arm", or "draw every line with the arm, even small details"?
Should I zoom in and out often, or should I aim to keep the drawing at the same size always when drawing? The reason I'm asking this is because while zooming in makes it easier to draw details, it might make us lose track of the rest of the drawing. What about the scale and move tools, should I stay away from them while practicing for now and try to draw things the right size and in the right place?
Any other tips that might be useful?
I think that's about all I can remember for now. I know some of these questions might be a little strange, but I just really want to make sure. Just out of curiosity, if you draw with a tablet, was it hard for you at first? How long did you take to get used to it?
Anyway, thank you in advance.
